It's a bit bizarre that this film is translated as a wrist slitter's paradise, it should be a wrist slitter's love story, literally.

Life is not free, there are all kinds of obstacles in life, bankruptcy, unemployment, lovelorn, the pressure and suffering of life have reached an unbearable level, what should I do? How can I get rid of it? It seems that only death is the only way to escape. Finally, I can have a reckoning with my past life, and I can say "goodbye" to the past, and come to a complete severance and cut off all the sources of pain.

A little boy who cut his wrists because of his love, committed suicide and then came to a world full of suicides. Its order is similar to the world in his previous life. He can't smoke in restaurants, can't steal camping hotel facilities, and can't destroy and paint public facilities. This world There are still policemen and people who maintain order. People are still drinking and looking for women, but there is one more activity. From the face, dress, and state of the person in the tavern, guessing the way the person committed suicide is a bet. Life is still the same, except that there is no Flowers, less smiles, less company of relatives and friends, and occasionally meet someone you met in a previous life, ask you to ask for the two hundred yuan you once owed, nothing has changed.

It's just that everyone still remembers the reasons for suicide in the previous life, as well as the unbreakable attachments in the previous life, the puppy, mother, house, friends, work, and even those troubles in the past have become a kind of nostalgia. People still can't let go of their obsessions, and those past beauty and pain are still hard to pursue.

Boy Pig's Foot can't forget his ex-girlfriend in his previous life. He always thinks about her in his dreams. When he learns that she has also come to this world, he decides to go on the road with the boring guitarist Jin, who has nothing to do. Looking for someone who can't let go of their hearts. This person is probably an externalized symbol that everyone yearns for, symbolizing money, fame, power, love, freedom, fairness, and so on.

I didn't expect to meet a person on the road who was always on the road looking for it. Mika, a beautiful girl with a lively face and a careless look, was a little mischievous and rebellious. She wanted to find the person in charge of this world to rehabilitate her. She never thought about it. to commit suicide.

Looking for the road, along the desolate road, accompanied by morning and evening, smoking, drinking, listening to rock and roll, chewing gum, Jin Nian never forgets to have an affair with Mika, and understands that this girl will not be with her Having an affair with any of my friends, I want to drive her away to find a new road partner. Mika didn't bother to leave.

In the process of getting along with each other, Mika and the male pig gradually cherish each other, have a good impression of each other, and miss each other. Meet again and come to a camp where people can achieve some small miracles, change the color of the fish, rise into the air, matches fly and so on, only male pigs can't achieve any miracles, male pigs are obsessed with it Huai, the "head" of the camp told him that miracles happen when you don't care.


After a long time of getting lost, Zia and Mika found a beach at night. In the twilight, the two played and kissed on the beach. Everything was so beautiful and romantic. In the early morning, Naylor found them, the beach in the sun Full of needles left by drug addicts and the like, full of filth, a place that everyone keeps away from and despised. The so-called beauty and ugliness coexist, the surface scenery seen by human eyes is beautiful, and it is only evil and dirty when exposed to the sun. Beauty is not necessarily true beauty, and of course pain in another situation may not be true pain, but the temporary darkness prevents us from feeling the sun.

Coming to the domain of King Messiah, like a fanatical religious believer, he believes that the body and soul can be separated, the body is dirty, evil, the soul is pure and holy, and so on. believers escape from this living world. He is always obsessed with life and cannot let go of the living world, so he will only commit suicide again in more pain. The pain is always in the moment, and if he cannot let go, it will only accumulate and deepen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the person in charge fell from the sky and dismissed the group of fanatics. Mika was taken to see the person in charge and rehabilitated. Zia was reluctant to leave, and went to the camp to wait for Mika, who "will be back in 5 minutes". At this time, He lit a cigarette, threw a match, and the flaming match went up to the sky, lining up with Zia's match that went up to the sky. The miracle happened because Zia let go of her obsession with her past life, let go of her past life's emotional wounds, and started her love life again.

Eugene came to pick him up and told him that Mika was back in the living world and would never come back.

Zia did not feel sad, even if another woman who was in love with him left him and promised to come back, but it was impossible to come back again, he was still on the road, and he did not suffer from pain or even suicide because of this, and because of this, the miracle happened again, Falling into that black hole, returning to the world of the previous life, seeing my parents, relieved, and meeting Mika, the two smiled at each other.

The overall tone of the film is lighthearted and pleasant. For those who commit suicide and cut their wrists, just let it go and let go. They don't care about the pain of broken love. They are more optimistic and tolerant of life. When the sun rises, life is full of miracles. In a word, there are no obstacles in life that cannot be overcome, and attitude determines everything.
